On the main screen, the previous battle’s replays were being broadcast. Wang Zheng had moved to destroy Slayer first. This was unquestionably the right choice. A mech that could cause such explosive and punishing damage must be eliminated first. Otherwise, not even Overlord’s defense could withstand it. Takumi’s restrictions and gravity pull had played an important role. It was precisely because of his efforts that Wang Zheng had the chance to create his miracle.
Landing on the ground after finishing Slayer, at the same time his terrifying ability X controlled the entire field. Wang Zheng was also a B rank ability user. Even if his Frost ability was strong, but he could only control somebody if the target mech was not too far away. That was why they had grouped up to receive the enemy and lull the opponent into thinking there was a chance. These were all tactics.
If the Icefire Battle Team did not stick, then Wang Zheng would have no opportunity to pull off what he just did. Each step had been a trap. If it could be said that Icefire Battle Team held the advantage at the start, then they completely played into Wang Zheng’s hands in the latter half.
The previously reticent professor La Tu gave Wang Zheng’s overall sequential decision making and thirst for victory a solid and excellent result.
“Although a Battle Team fights a group battle, but it is ultimately made up of individual components. Each individual must be strong, and not obsess over the composition.”
La Tu’s point was that a Battle Team battle was a double-edged sword. If one single-mindedly pursued Battle Teamwork, and neglected individual performance, that was putting the cart before the horse. Battle Teamwork was to amplify individual power, and not a license to lower individual ability standards.
Might was the surest logic!
Wang Zheng was like that, and Olivios was the same.
Some tactics put their intent out there for all to see, but those were superficial. Real tactics should not be seen, just like how Icefire Battle Team had fallen.
Even Jian Zihao had only just realized his big mistake. He had been too focused on Wang Zheng’s individual strength.
But thinking it through, if he had acted a little more suitably, and been a little calmer, the chances of Icefire Battle Team winning were good.
But at the last, Icefire Battle Team had been thrown into chaos. They had panicked, and lost their cool.
As the leader, his responsibility was to lead the Battle Team to victory. Although the situation was tense, but such hardships were normal in battle. To retain one’s confidence even when the situation was looking bleak, and also to bolster one’s Battle Teammates’ confidence – this was the most difficult.
La Tu understood this. Many professors had finally allowed Saruman Snake to qualify at the outset not because of their ability, but based on this point. This person could bring a different momentum to the Greatest King competition.
And now he proved that he was above even those expectations.
Fatty Luo eyed Lear. Lear’s mouth was curved in habitual dissatisfaction. It was always like this. Just as he was prepared to turn Wang Zheng into laughing stock, he would pull some ace out of his sleeve. It was not good for his heart. But Fatty knew that Wang Zheng was as scary as his boss. If you thought his plan was simple, then you had fallen into the rabbit’s trap.
But La Tu had other suspicions. Wang Zheng’s ability X response had seemed too strong. This punk had taken a trip to Hail Cloud Alliance, and his understanding of Frost ability X seemed to have improved by leaps and bounds.
Such a rate of improvement was unheard of.
And another point which La Tu had not mentioned. Although Wang Zheng was still leading the Battle Team forward, but in terms of ability and overall picture, he had made the greatest improvements.
People could only grow after experiencing all sorts of things. To be born with a silver spoon like Olivios was not always a good thing.
This match’s MVP had undoubtedly fallen onto Wang Zheng. Especially after La Tu had done the overall analysis, everyone’s sentiment immediately reversed. It made sense. Not everyone had the privilege of Arbiter and Aslan. Did that mean they should just give up?
No!
Without question, Icefire Battle Team was one of the ‘weaker’ Battle Teams that Saruman Snake Battle Team would meet. If they did not even fight with abandon against a weaker Battle Team, then how could they hope to fight the top 4 Battle Teams?
The impact of this win had implications far beyond the surface. This was the key that would let Saruman Snake Battle Team continue to progress.
Any student who could enter the various major military schools of the Federation was no dummy. At this stage, one would have to be an idiot not to understand.
“Let us interview the match MVP, student Wang Zheng.” Xue Yue smiled. Although this match had been turned beautifully, but Xue Yue still liked Arbiter’s dominance. “Student Wang Zheng, before the match, did you anticipate that you would win?”
Wang Zheng actually did not like this type of question. Xue Yue’s questions were provocative. If you said yes, you were slighting your opponent. If you said no, then it seemed like you had no confidence.
“As a fighter, nobody can predict the outcome. But Saruman Snake Battle Team will continue to persevere to win every match!” Wang Zheng said. This wench really thought Wang Zheng was a simpleton? When he had started to use his brain, she was still playing house.
Xue Yue raised her eyebrows, and smiled. “Looks like our Saruman Snake Battle Team captain is full of aggressiveness, and confident to take all the wins. Again, congratulations to Saruman Snake Battle Team.”
Wang Zheng was amazed. This girl was too dangerous. With such a fantastic way of interpretation, she should quit her job and write novels.
But aggression was aggression, it was nothing much.
Marzu looked at Olivios. “If you beat him, the battle between you and I can start.”
Olivios was slightly taken aback. He knew that at this moment, Mars really recognized Wang Zheng’s ability, and at the same time thought that Wang Zheng had the standard to be his rival.
Vincent was ecstatic. In this battle, his role had been fairly crucial as well. Many people were discussing it, especially Manalasuo people. This was way better than Zhou Yu.
Gold Wheel was a mecha that needed aggression. It was the kind that needed an offensive environment. It was when things got dicey that Gold Wheel needed to act with even more surety. If they were tough, you had to be tougher. Once you hesitated, you were trash. Zhou Yu’s aggressiveness was about the same as Vincent’s. Faced with two tanks, Vincent just had one word on his mind. Destroy!
Such poise, Gold Wheel’s movements, sequencing, and repeated plays… It could be said that Vincent had indeed brought forth the potential of the Gold Wheel.
No less than was expected of a Manalasuo citizen. Many Manalasuo students had given him much applause as well. Without Vincent, even if Wang Zheng had some earth shattering ability, it would still have been a loss.
But only Vincent himself knew the changes in his state of mind within those few seconds. But once one had experienced such a process, it was a spiritual cleansing, and he was reborn.
They returned below stage, now as an audience. In a while, another great show would take place. Imperial Glory Battle Team against Dark Wolves Battle Team.
The little princess had to reluctantly return her gaze from where it had been lingering on Wang Zheng. If only she was not a princess.
It was clear that the Aslan fighters’ eyes were shining. Wang Zheng’s performance had not only stimulated his Battle Teammates, but also his opponents. Aslan would show even greater ability!
“Glory to Aslan!”
With Hocatolin as the lead, they trumpeted oblivious to their surroundings.
